Gluten-Free Barbecue Sauce List

Why Put This BBQ Sauce List Together?
A lot of people have asked about gluten-free BBQ sauces and this is an attempt to put a lot of information in one place.

Is this the bible of Gluten-Free BBQ Sauce Lists?
NO! Always read the label – ingredients and suppliers may change and always use common sense and remember the motto: When in doubt, leave it out. This page includes information on gluten and words to avoid when seeking gluten-free BBQ sauces.

What is Gluten?
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye and their derivatives such as malt or spelt. Some people have strong allergic reactions to glutens and some of these people have what is clinically known as Celiac Disease. A set of universal dietary guidelines for Celiac Disease does not exist. The Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) uses criteria based on the latest scientific research and advice from its’ Medical Board of Advisors. For information about Celiac Disease please contact the Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF) at (818) 990-2354, via email at cdf@celiac.org or on the web at www.celiac.org. There are several good blogs out there for people wanting more info such as this one, I am Gluten Free, from a woman in Massachusetts who suffers from Coeliac Disease.

I have come across a new product line of gluten free, all natural and vegetarian sauces and mustards. They are call royal fireworks and have different bbq sauces and mustards. Awesome… label is as clean as I have ever seen. I am now a big fan…
those who need or crave gluten free products should investigate. They even have a cookbook using their products. I think they are also an Ohio Proud product. Nice to know.
Best of luck with your search.

I have a bottle of honey Barbecue Sauce of Sweet Baby Ray’s and it does say gluten free, but if you look at the ingredients it has modified food starch and caramel color listed and those are two of the ingredients that tells you that there is gluten in the product.

Modified food starch and caramel coloring doesnt necessarily mean it contains gluten. They can be made from different products like corn. I was under the impression that if a product is labeled gluten free, then it has to be in compliance to the regulations.

just to give you a heads up… Nephew’s BBQ Sauce and Rub Company has three Gluten Free and No High Fructose Corn Syrup products on the market NOW… Ghostly Pumpkin, Cherry’Potle and our New Lil’Buddy’s Mustard Sauce… Our Peachy Potle will be out by July and will follow the same MO… http://www.nephewsbbq.com

I had a terrible reaction from Sweet Baby Ray’s even though the information I found at the time said it was GF. This was about a year ago but I remember being so sick that I’ve avoided the sauce since. Thanks for the list!

Wegmans in our area, Western New York, has 4 BBQ sauces that are Gluten Free, Vegan and Lactose Free. We have tried two of them, the Memphis and the Kansas City and both are delicious. No High Fructose Corn Syrup either. Check out wegmans.com for locations.

I loved Cookies BBQ Sauce, when I lived in St Louis. Now in the outskirts of Phoenix, not sure which are GF. I have not seen Cookies here. I sure miss BBQ chicken and pork. And refuse to eat out. Still much cross contamination issues in restaurants. Makes me not want to trust eating out! Any national chains of BBQ restaurants that are GF?

There are a handful of GF BBQ sauces. We also try to avoid HFCS. There is a version of KC Masterpiece that is GF, I have only seen it at COSTCO.

As far as restaurants, it is way better than it was 10 years, or even 5 years ago. There are even some restaurants in the Valley that specialize in GF, and several good pizza places with good GF options. Most BBQ places however offer salads as GF options 🙁

If you have a smart phone, I would suggest downloading the app “Find Me Gluten Free”. Cross contamination still happens, but not as often as it once did.

Thanks for your input, Mark. Costco is a good option for me. Sad about BBQ restaurants. Bandana’s in St Louis was the only one I could feel safe eating in. But one must, of course, announce they are GF to get assistance/appropriate service.

Also when eating out, watch for some kind of gluten free awareness certification that shows the restaurant trains their people for gluten free awareness. Although we have found some restaurants that don’t have such certification and have been fine.
My wife (who is Celiac) says she has eaten at Joe’s BBQ in Gilbert with no problem and their website indicates they are gluten free friendly.

Try Bill’s Best BBQ. I used to work for a non profit for celiac disease, and this sauce was sent for us to try in the office. It is amazing, plus it’s certified organic, and they source their ingredients locally. You can buy it at Amazon.com, their website at http://www.billsbestbbq.com, or check their store locator for where to buy it. They also donate 10%of their profits to dementia research.

Young G’s Barbeque Sauce is Gluten Free,Very low sodium and No High Fructose corn syrup,Young G’s has a very authentic taste and kids love it on more then just cooked meats.
